Just finished it last night. Overall a pretty good season 3 of Daredevil.
I don't read the comics or anything but would it be hard to make Colleen the Iron Fist instead? She's so much cooler than Danny.

Danny and Misty get married???? Ohhhh boy... the gf won't like this...
That's a side story, but they dated for a long time and were a great couple. Knew each other before Danny even knew Luke. But comics Danny also isn't trash.
Don't let her read the comics, They've been crazy about each other since the 70s.
If nothing else, the show hammered in how much better DareDevil is at fighting compared to pretty much everyone else, friend or foe.
I liked the series overall, but it could have been better. It feels like an extension of DD season 2. They double-down on the "Elektra is the chosen one" plot, which I didn't even like the first time. Alexandra and the rest of the Hand leaders don't end up doing a (w)hole lot, so the series doesn't feel as epic as it should have.
The heroes side is thankfully more compelling and its fun to watch their dynamics with each other. This was my first exposure to Iron Fist and I was surprised they portrayed him as a poor-man's Daredevil. I think one character filled with angst who likes to babble about his mission is more than enough. The team can get a little dreary without a light-hearted character.
The action sequences are not nearly as good as in Daredevil, but there are some solid fights. Surprisingly, my favorite part of them is how they used Iron Fist's power. When his fist starts to glow, you know he's about to wreck shit and it feels like an anime and I love it.
Overall, its a good show, but I hope they step up their game for season 2. Also, I'm worried about DD season 3. They strongly hinted at Born Again before and this just confirmed its happening. Hopefully Matt doesn't turn into a crazy homeless person and they avoid some of Frank Miller's other crazy bullshit.
I've mentioned this before, but I am confused as to why they've seemingly placed the part where Matt gets taken in by the nuns and finally finds his mother at the beginning of this story, as opposed to closer to the end, as in the original comic-book storyline. It was such a pivotal moment which lead to the character finding his feet again as a kind of spiritual rebirth...to place it before all the stuff with Fisk goes down seems like a really, really strange narrative choice.
They've made the Iron Fist so useless here it wouldn't matter. Also Colleen sucks almost as much as Danny. Almost.
The ending mirrors a scene from Daredevil: Born Again, a popular arc from the comics. Would you be excited for Born Again to provide the story blueprints for season three of Daredevil?
For sure. That's such an amazing story. Everyone who loves Daredevil loves Born Again. You can't not. And if that's the case, then the implications of that would be very exciting to me. That would be great. Having said that, I know we don't tend to follow any story blueprints too closely, because if you do, then you become a foregone conclusion. There may be elements from Born Again, but I'm sure there will be elements that are unfamiliar and surprising and different in order for the show to be compelling to fans who know the comics very well. If we start making Born Again page-for-page, then the people who have read it and loved it the hardcore fans they won't have too much drama.
The last time he sees the Defenders, Matt pulls a Lost in Translation and whispers a secret in Danny Rand's ear. We later learn he was asking Danny to protect the city. In the comics, Danny takes on the Daredevil mantle for a little while. Are you comfortable with Finn Jones running around as the Devil of Hell's Kitchen if Matt needs some time on the mend?
Yeah, I love that man. I loved that moment. We had a lot of fun on the day, trying to make up all sorts of stupid stuff. (Laughs.) I remember trying to say things [that would break him], because obviously he has to keep a very straight face. I tell him something and the audience at that point doesn't know what it is. He takes it very seriously. I'm of course saying these very stupid, mundane and silly things in his ear and trying to make him crack a smile.
"You complete me!"
Exactly. (Laughs.) "Is it raining? I hadn't noticed!" Yeah, man. I love that stuff. And there are a few characters who dress up as DD at certain points in the comics. Peter Parker is another one. I think one of the nice relationships in The Defenders is the Matt and Danny relationship. Danny looks up to Matt a little bit, as a sensible older brother who has been doing this for a lot longer. At the same time, there's a mutual respect. Matt is very impressed with Danny's fighting techniques, and his skills, and his style. That friendship, there's definitely a lot of room for it to grow. I loved working with Finn. We had a great time. He's a true professional. If he's involved somehow further on, wearing the Daredevil suit? Yeah, for sure.
Hmm ? When did they show that ? I only saw him suspicious after the blow he received in the prison, but not much else.Kingpin already knows DD's secret identity,

-Marvel need to hire whoever is doing the fight scenes in Into the badlands, that dude know how to comic action scenes better than anyone else.
Best part was DD handing Danny his wack ass
Or how about when Electra handed Danny his ass?
Or that other time she kicked his ass?
Or when a room of MBAs handed him his ass?
Or when Jessica Jones knocked his ass out?
It's so hard to choose a favorite.
Just finished it, overall I was very underwhelmed. Iron Fist and Colleen have an additional super power, the ability to suck the life out of any scene they are in.
I have one question, the final scene, the nun says "Get Maggie", who is she referring to?

Immortal iron fist, the living weapon , protector of kun lun, slayer of dragons
Should be Matt's mother.
"He loved this city"
"He sacrificed himself to save this city"
...no he didn't?
Everyone else was already escaping he just decided to go back and try to save Elektra.
Which just led to them having a weird sexy fight.
I still don't understand what happened with Elektra. So she regained her memories, killed Alexandra and then took over The Hand?
Why?
I don't get why she turned evil despite seemingly getting her memories back. What was her goal?
Don't get me wrong I loved the rest of it. But the whole Daredevil/Elektra part of the show was easily the weakest part. And I quite enjoyed her in Daredevil season 2.
It was all just very confusing, it's like the writers were confused about what they were doing with her, which translated to the characters also being confused about her and just made it even more confusing for the audience.
What made her special as the black sky? If it wasn't her in the body of who used to be Elektra then why did she regain her memories so easily? Was she Elektra or Black Sky at the end?
Also really shitty about Alexandra. Pretty pointless character. I liked when they did that in Luke Cage, but it didn't work here
Unfortunately, seems like only Chris Brewster and Eaton are there in The Defenders, and I don't see any mention of a fight coordinator anywhere in the staff. On Iron Fist, they had Brett Chan and Hiroo Minami, but they really don't seem as talented as the DD team.
They d better hire who did the fights of the first season, because the second was a huge drop in quality.
I am blind in one so I have to pause the video to read subtitles
did they really need that one guy who only speaks Japanese?
after so many centuries of life this one guy did not learn any other languages while his peers all understand him? That is so weird, did they think this would get all the anime fans on board?
Yes. Why "lol", tho?So was the giant hole from daredevil season 2 explained? Lol
